U.S. Representative Tom Udall is scheduled to speak to Laboratory employees at 2:45 this afternoon from the National Security Sciences Building Auditorium.

Udall, D-New Mexico, is at the Lab for briefings at the Nonproliferation and International Security Center, including an overview presentation by Director Michael Anastasio, before addressing employees.

"I voted for lab funding before I voted against lab funding before I voted for lab funding. I'm a strong supporter of LANL. Vote for me in the Senate election.

However, what is it, exactly, that you do with all those vast sums of money that we send to you?"

"Us? Why, Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Our primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent.

The Los Alamos of today emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory.

In addition to supporting the Lab's core national security mission, our work advances bioscience, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, materials science, and physics disciplines.

Yada yada yada. Just vote yes on everything but oversight funding."

I'm sure there will be plenty of LANL's shiny-faced sheeple in the audience to greet him.

This visit is so obviously political that Udall's campaign should be charged for the time he spends using the NSSB auditorium to pander for LANL votes.

I hope Mr. Udall gets a chance to visit some of the finer locations in the lab complex. You know, the ones with broken restrooms and heating systems that no longer function properly and mold growing on the walls. Large parts of LANL look like something out of a third world country.

Not too surprisingly, Congressman Udall never replied to my invitation of a month ago to participate on this blog and present a clarification on his LANL WFO position.

How about the taxpayers bill Bechtel for pandering to the future senator. What does it cost to fill the auditorium at $450k/FTE?

I thought Tom Cruise was the answer to all of LANL's problems. Bringing in Tom Udall is close, but not the same thing. Don't we want the real deal?

Udall should come prepared to kiss our rears. How dare he try to hold us accountable!

Not the exact same thing, no.
But a VERY close approximation.

There's about 6 people in the audience. A well attended event.

Some good questions are being asked, though. The Idiot has no answers.

Please..stuff a rod up between St. Pete's cheeks and freeze dry him for Los Alamos. Place him in a glass display case for the LANL faithful to worship because in their minds, he will always be the one and only true God of the nuclear establishment, no. matter what. When Pete farted they always tripped over each other for even the slightest wiff. The thought of life without him is simply too much for these poor souls to bear.

And I suppose your farts, 5:58 PM, smell as sweet as a rose? Better yet, don't trip trying to follow Tom Udall around while you take in big wiffs of us anti-LANL farts of which I'm sure you just love the smell.
